Enter key hit event is not getting captured in Firefox

When I ran my app(GWT java) using chrome browser the following code works well 

if (event.getUnicodeCharCode() == 13)

But the same app ran through Firefox browser doesn't give desirable result.

I want to capture the enter event from all browser and do the same processing code.

Instead of the char code look at the key code, code associated with the physical key:

if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER)

Firefox does not fire a keypress event for the Enter key, you have to use keydown or keyup instead (but then handle key codes, rather than character codes; fortunately they're the same for the Enter key and the LF character).
